Watched a few reviews and performance numbers look pretty good. Power consumption / efficiency are laughable but it's not a bad product as a balls to the wall must be fastest product. The big question is where the hell do they go from here? They don't have a more advanced node unless they push production to TSMC so they will be relying on small incremental improvements on the Intel 7 node or they will need to throw more power at it. I'm much more interested in what happens next gen now to see what they do as more power at this level doesn't seem to be the right approach so performance needs to come from somewhere else.
Overall though it doesn't seem a bad product. Competitive but missing some stuff like AVX512 etc which for most isn't a show stopper anyway but certainly helps intel to keep that power down. Not seeing these 40% gains at the same power but then I don't think anybody really expected that anyway. Not bad overall, not ground breaking or magic in anyway and honestly it is almost exactly what I expected it to be, decent showing tbh but honestly where do they go from here?
Regarding avx512 can't be that important the way Dave carried on about with rocket lake and avx512 being the next best thing and now seems happy not to have it at all
